The film follows Declan (Jon Norman Schneider) as he returns to his hometown of San Francisco for Christmas only to realize that his second oldest brother, Troy (Patrick Epino) has been ruling the house with fear, physically abusing his wife, Shelly (Theresa Navarro) and emotionally abusing his mother and daughter, Mina (Amelie Anima). When oldest brother Moe (Brian Rivera) arrives to complete the Christmas reunion, the festivities begin as the extended family shows up and the big Filipino Christmas can begin. But when cousin Tiva (L.A. Renigen) offers domestic violence support to the withdrawn Shelly, abusive Troy finds out and assaults Shelly for Declan and Moe to find when they get home. The next day, Declan and Moe are disturbed to discover that everyone in the house (Prisa, Shelly, Mina and Troy) all act as if nothing happened, even as Shelly nurses a bruised face. This leads Declan to propose a radical idea to the family: to kill Troy.
